23.    New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value classifications and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to the Level 3 fair value classification. The new guidance also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The new guidance was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2010 except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis, which was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance which requires additional disclosures about an employer’s participating in multi-employer pension plans. The new guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2011. The Company’s adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new accounting guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions of this new guidance are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company expects that a new statement of comprehensive income will be presented in future consolidated financial statements instead of the current reporting of comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance relative to the test for goodwill impairment. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the requirements of this new guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
